Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 cups Dutch process cocoa powder
3 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 3.5-ounce dark chocolate bars (I use Lindt 90% cacao midnight dark chocolate)
4 3.5 ounce white chocolate bars (I used Lindt white chocolate bars)
15-20 candy canes

Steps:

  • Put the chocolate bars in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This will help you grind them in the food processor without the chocolate melting.
  • In a very large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch, and kosher salt.
  • Break the dark chocolate and white chocolate bars into the food processor and pulse until the chocolate is ground into small crumb-size bits. Add to the cocoa powder mixture.
  • Break the candy canes into pieces and add to the food processor. Pulse until they are ground. Add to the cocoa powder mixture and chocolate.
  • Stir everything together, then add to the food processor in batches and grind until the mixture is a fine powder consistency.
  • Add to mason jars and gift away!
  • To make the cocoa, add two heaping tablespoons cocoa mix to one cup (8 ounces) warm milk and add a candy cane stir stick.

CANDY-CANE HOT COCOA



Candy-Cane Hot Cocoa image

Dress your hot cocoa up in something festive, like candy canes perhaps! Heat a pan of milk with chopped white chocolate and a bit of peppermint extract. Whisk it until it's thick and frothy, then top with a dollop of whipped cream and a candy-cane garnish-we hear that's customary at the North Pole.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

32 ounces whole milk or oat milk
6 ounces white chocolate, chopped (1/4 cup)
Pinch of kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Unsweetened whipped cream and candy canes or peppermint sticks, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat milk and white chocolate in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until very hot, thick, and frothy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; whisk in peppermint extract. Transfer to cups or mugs, dollop with whipped cream, and serve with candy canes (the candy serves as a stirring stick and also slowly dissolves into the hot cocoa, adding more peppermint flavor as you sip and repeat).
